5. On the lighting console, select Layer 2. Set the
Intensity parameter for Layer 2 to a DMX
value of 255(100%). The Catalyst Output 1
screen should change to solid white.
Set the Library parameter to a DMX value of
6.
0. This should select the preloaded Catalyst
Library folder 000 (HES Lithos).
7. Set the File parameter to a DMX value of 71
(HES-logo-color). This selects the movie file
numbered 71 in Library folder 0. You should
see the High End Systems logo on the Output 1 window.

Turn Layer 2 Background Transparent

Now you'll apply a color effect that turns the
black background of the Layer 2 logo transparent,
revealing the movie file playing on the underlying
Layer 1.
8. With Layer 2 still selected on your lighting
console, set the Color Effects parameter to a
DMX value of 3 (the color effect named
Transparent Blacks). The black background
of the High End Systems logo will become
transparent and reveal the rippling water
movie playing on Layer 1.
9. Now change the Color Effects parameter to
a DMX value of 4 (the color effect named
Transparent Whites). The non-black
portions of the High End Systems logo
should become transparent and reveal the
rippling water movie playing on Layer 1.
